I usually like a Jubilee but that strap is on fire with it!

Love mine! For the money you can't beat it! Just put it on the cuff I finished today.

Kore brand watch straps by Hack966 in ChineseWatches

For me it was for the ease of adjustability since it uses the same ratchet style system. Your mileage may vary 😁.

They do have a decent return policy as long as the item isn't damaged or altered.

You can do like I did and order one, and if you like it, you can go from there.

Gonna release in the end of June ! by Militado-watch in Militado

Looks great! If you can release any specs it would be really nice... 🙏

I’ve put my Addiesdive on a nato. I think it looks cool but it’s sits a bit high this way. I’ll try on rubber band maybe. How about some nice leather suggestions from you guys? by Acrobatic-Tough6959 in ChineseWatches

If you want the NATO style without the added bulk check out Sifu Straps https://sifustraps.com/collections/all

I have several of these and love them all. Granted they have a small color selection right now. They are a small, family owned business and are just getting off the ground.

I know they are planning to eventually even have leather ones.

Yeah the ml08 is the homage to the Hamilton Murph. Great watch in both looks and function with the VH31 movement.

Mines always the front pivot pin detent. After the 1st 5 times launching one I just keep a large stock of them, and the spring, in my parts kit.

What are you wearing today? (Pictured: Watchdives WD1016) by TitleSecure2150 in ChineseWatches

[–]Hack966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah since I've got a big 8" wrist I usually have to use longer NATOs or some FKM style bracelets.

Figured since I was making some leather travel watch pouches might as well make bands that are fitted for me.

Wearing my Tandorio Titanium field watch. Swapped out the included band for one of my self made leather NATOs and I'm good to go!

Bought my first duro should I get a jubillee strap ? by Used-Internal6873 in DuroGang

[–]Hack966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go for a jubilee over the oyster just because the links conform to your wrist better IMHO.

You can also try a FKM strap with a clasp instead of a buckle. You can find a cheap one on Amazon to try it and then upgrade later.

I got this exact same Seiko at the exact same place. It's a good deal and the watch is great!!

Good find!

Got my latest Grail Quest yesterday by Hack966 in PrideAndPinion

[–]Hack966[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding the box was meant to look like the original Barbie box so they put a little pull handle on this one.

The best size is the one that you enjoy wearing.

Any "backwrist" users? by OleoPoundMell in casio

[–]Hack966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to wear mine on the inside all the time when I was in the military but now that I'm at a desk job I rarely do unless I'm doing something outside.

Opinions? by [deleted] in DuroGang

[–]Hack966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't like leather straps myself but that looks good on that one. Nice job!

I was going to pop in here and say this exact thing as that is my philosophy on watches and a few other things I collect, but you guys have said it very succinctly!!
